1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundRefractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) can result in severe complications and long-term effects. Early identification of RMPP and appropriate treatments can effectively alleviate complications and restrict the progression of sequelae. There is currently a dearth of a comprehensive and efficient model for predicting and evaluating RMPP.

methodsThe development cohort consisted of patients with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) who underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy between January 2019 and October 2021. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for RMPP, and a nomogram model was developed that included initial admission examinations and clinical characteristics. The accuracy of the model was validated using a validation cohort of patients enrolled between November 2021 and April 2023.

result373 patients were enrolled including 229 cases of the development cohort and 144 cases of the validation cohort. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the six independent risk factors for RMPP were age (OR = 1.151, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.014-1.306), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score(OR = 0.872, 95% CI 0.792-0.961), computed tomography (CT) total score(OR = 1.407, 95% CI 1.258-1.575), secretion color(OR = 2.719, 95% CI 1.562-4.734), mucosal edema(OR = 5.064, 95% CI 2.748-9.300), and procalcitonin (PCT) (OR = 0.871, 95% CI 0.806-0.941). The Area Under Curve (AUC) of the model in the development cohort and validation cohort was 0.913(95%CI 0.875-0.951) and 0.811(95%CI 0.739-0.883), respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the model's goodness of fit had good consistency in the development cohort and validation cohort (χ2 = 10.546, P = 0.229; χ2 = 7.894, P = 0.342). The DCA of the development and validation cohorts showed clear net benefits using the nomogram to predict RMPP.

conclusionWe developed a nomogram model that integrates clinical, imaging, and bronchoscopic features to enable early and accurate prediction of the risk of RMPP in children. This model provides a quantitative tool for personalized intervention and demonstrates significant clinical application value.
